Redwood High student says he was suspended for conservative paper

Redwood High School student Cyrus Massoumi said he plans to continue publishing his online conservative newspaper, even after receiving a five-day suspension from the school district. "If I'm suspended again, or even expelled as a result, it's worth it to me if the end result is that I'm educating people that this district will not accept a moderate or conservative voice," Massoumi said. Although school officials declined to comment on his case, Massoumi, 17, a senior, said he was suspended from school Wednesday for distributing flyers directing students to his online newspaper, which he previously stored on a school computer server.
